Swedish esports production and tournament organizer company DreamHack has announced its plans for the 2020 season, with at least 11 events in 10 cities across the world. Traditional esports titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Rocket League are expected to be hosted. However, the upcoming releases of other games could also make it to a future event, like Fortnite did.

- Sevilla: December 11 – 13
- DreamHack was brought to Sevilla in 2018, and 2020 will continue with LAN as the event’s core.
The year of 2019 saw Vici Gaming take home the trophy at Stockholm’s Corsair DreamLeague Major and the all-female roster of Besiktas win at Valencia’s DreamHack Showdown. Multiple records of viewership and attendance have been broken during 2019. With 25 years of history, 2020 will only be another chapter for the popular LAN event hosted by DreamHack.
